Quote from: Karl Henning on June 01, 2025, 02:42:21 PMI'm at just that point, myself, though I'm giving the Tribbles a miss this time. Not that I don't like the episode, I just feel I've seen it enough for the moment. It is not of course literally true that i could storyboard the episode from memory, but that's kind of where my heart is at for the present. I must emphasize that any fault is mine, not the episode's, which is a great exemplar of a comic script in a series which is not by nature Comedy.

You could substitute with "Trials and Tribble-ations" (DS9, Episode 5x06).

Well, you know, I relented or repented and decided after all that the lightness of this episode ("The Trouble With Tribbles") is just what I want, this evening.

[Matisse] was interested neither in fending off opposition,
nor in competing for the favor of wayward friends.

I had completely forgotten, for instance, that in this episode Kirk upbraids Chekov for his Russo-centric history.

There is an animated series episode, I believe it's called " More Troubles, More Tribbles ". An acceptable substitute, imho.  8)

I'm long past being the target demographic for this, so let me not critique it as an over-educated adult. My impression is, probably ahead of most of its peers. Nice that all the main cast (and Stan Adams as Cyrano Jones) participated. Screenplay by David Gerrold, creator of the Tribbles. I'll listen to his commentary later. The blu-ray edition really gives this episode the royal treatment, and why not?

After watching the original tribble episode, I noticed I have this on the special features. Decided to give it a try and I liked it, very imaginative and the first episode of DS9 I've watched.

I always love that part where Worf is like, "We don't talk about that!" :laugh: I don't want to spoil it for Karl, but he'll get it as soon as he watches it.

Edit: I had to look it up... the actual line was "we don't discuss it with outsiders."
